The world is full of beautiful and interesting destinations. This summer, take a road trip to some of the most Instagrammable locations in the U.S. As you travel across the United States, spruce up your social media profile by taking selfies at each of these eight trendy locations:

1. New Orleans, Louisiana

As you tour New Orleans, make sure to visit the French Quarter and Jackson Square. The meticulously-manicured courtyard is filled with vibrant colors, and history making every beautiful building a worthy background for anyone’s Southern selfie.

2. Miami, Florida

One of the most Instagrammable locations in Miami is Wynwood Walls. This artistic, mural-adorned section of the city offers unique backdrops on every corner. Paired with Miami’s famous beaches, this city is a one-stop-shop for beautiful Instagram photo ops.

3. Salvation Mountain, Niland, California

Located in Southern California, this artistic masterpiece features bright religious messages in addition to vibrant-colored animals, flowers and trees. Walk around this man-made mountain to find the best background or take pictures in front of miscellaneous sculptures found around the site.

4. Multnomah Falls, Oregon

Wreathed by forests, this waterfall is a stunning vista year-round, with each season bringing new color to the scenery. After you’ve taken a few selfies from the bottom of the falls, hike up to the iconic bridge or to the top of the falls for a new vantage point.

5. Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston has it all: colorful buildings, historic churches, gorgeous beaches and more. You will be busy running around Rainbow Row and Pitt Street Bridge, so be sure to pack a portable charger for your phone.

6. Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Show off Yellowstone’s natural beauty with pictures against rainbow-colored hot springs and the vast plains and wilderness. Set your clocks and take a selfie next to Old Faithful, but make sure you pay attention to the splash zone!

7. Las Vegas Strip, Nevada

Keep your camera ready when you walk around Las Vegas. As you explore, stop to take selfies with Elvis impersonators, the reproduction of the Eiffel Tower or other unique sights you may find.

8. Millennium Park, Chicago

The first thing you need a picture with is the iconic Cloud Gate sculpture. Make sure to take pictures on each side of the “bean” for warped reflections. As you walk around the park, take pictures against the Crown Fountain, Boeing Galleries, Wrigley Square and other unique backdrops.
